I got told to finally OC my i5 750 to play Dark Souls at high framerates, so I'm looking into buying an aftermarket cooler. I have a midi tower that used to be called Cooler Master Elite 335. Measurements 19,3x49,4x42,7 cm. Can't remember my mobo off the top of my head.
I put a Cooler Master 212 something, I think it was a plus, into my brothers pc and I'm not sure it'd fit into my case, but I'm not at my place, so I can't measure. Ordering today might mean that it is he monday, though, so I want to ask you guys.
And what the new hotness is, maybe. Is the Cooler Master 212 evo the replacement for the plus, because the store doesn't carry that anymore. It's 30. Then there's a TX 3 evo, which is only 18. Then there's Alpenföhn, Scyte, Noctua(lolmonster fan)! Everything. Just tell me what to buy to get a good, cheapish cooler to OC enough to run Dark Souls and other cpu heavy games. Buying from the store without the 212 plus which is still in the op builds is not a must, it's simply a store with a very good customer service when something goes wrong, so I like buying from them.
Edit: just saw that 7970 deal. 100 less than the cheapest one here! Which is an OC windforce for 347. Good thing that my case is small, I can't get jealous of cards that won't fit! I want to hold out for at least A!Ds next gen or better yet, their refresh. If they can make it that far.
